SBS and setting up Raid 1 on a new Dell PowerEdge

SBS and setting up Raid 1. I have a customer that is running SBS 2003 and they want their Raid setup on the system. The system is a Dell PowerEdge 840 and they gave me some Dell Management and Utilities DVDs. How can I go about it?

We have (2) 250 SATA hard disks. The system is pretty new.
Any assistance would be great.
Thanks
